[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate this. We’re stuck with the clown show of the progressive establishment who is so far off base in so many respects - or the clown show of Republicans who just want to “own the libs.” [/quote]

There's no happy medium anymore.

If you're a D or R and attempt to compromise or disagree with the extreme of your own party than you're exiled and publicly and relentlessly torn apart.

I’m trying not to get too depressed about it because it’s early days still and there’s no telling who from the current board is going to run again and who’s not, and maybe there’s room for sensible Republicans or Democrats somewhere. But man. This is depressing.[/quote]

Megan McLaughlin is a reasonable SB member.  Ilryong Moon was a great at-large candidate that I wish would come back.  Fairfax is a primarily democratic community so the best source of community action is speaking with the Fairfax Democratic party and voicing the kinds of traits we value in candidates.  Solutions to problems with the SB are not found through the GOP by any means.[/quote]

One challenge is that the Fairfax Democrats have made support of the current School Board a litmus test for membership. So if you generally align with the Democrats rather than the GOP, it's unclear there is a place for you in the FCDC, and the Democratic endorsements will still come from voting members of the FCDC, as no primaries open to the general public are held.  In 2019, several more moderate Democrats, including Moon, were rejected by the FCDC in favor of candidates claiming to be more "progressive" (Cohen, Frisch, Omeish).[/quote]
